- And, just to follow-up my own post...
-
- Taking this thing a bit further (hey, it was a boring lunch hour), here's the
- summary from all players listed in the '92-'93 guide from each team's roster
- (disclaimer: I made no effort to choose only those players in the NHL-- the
- guide lists about 50 players from each team, including a half a dozen or more
- goalies)
-
- Breaking down by position:
-
- Forwards: left: 479 right: 334 58.92% left
- Defence: left: 273 right: 152 64.24% left
- Goalies: left: 128 right: 15 89.51% left (*catches left)
- Total: left: 870 right: 501 66.87% left
-
- Removing the goalies:
- Shooters: left: 752 right: 486 61.07% left
-
- And, from my earlier post on the top 100 point-getters:
- Top100pts: left: 59 right: 41 59.00% left
-
- Not much of a difference, I'd say. Anyway, just thought I'd add.
